This Company is formed, not for the purpose of establish ing a new Marine In su rance Office in rivalry with offices already opened, but with the object of continuing the existing Maritime Insurance business so long conducted by Mr. Henry Case, under the firm of Price and Co., in Exchange-buildings, Liverpool. Mr. Case's services, as underwriter, have been secured upon terms satisfactory to the Directors, dependent in part upon the success of the Company, and without the payment of any "promotion money," either in cash or shares. It is anticipated that whilst the extensive connection al ready possessed by Messrs. Price and Co. will be retained and consolidated by the formation of a Company, the busi ness will, at the same time, be considerably increased in consequence of Marine Insurance Companies being now very generally preferred to private underwriters. The success which has attended the operations of Marine Insurance Companies in Liverpool, may be gathered from the present value of their Shares in the market, viz. : Amount Present Equal paid. price. to The Thames and Mersey £2 £7 0 0 250 percent. pm.

This Bank is established in order to meet a want which has long been experienced in Mexico—the want of those assured Banking facilities which have done so much to stimulate the industry and develop the resources of other countries. 'flit field before such an Institution, which Mexico and the South American States present, is most inviting. Its re sources in silver are boundless, while the climate of this wonderful country is such that almost every production of the soil can be cultivated to an extent which can scarcely be imagined. With the hoped-for success which is to be anticipated from the policy of the new Government, Mexico has a great future before her. Money there commands at all times a high re munerative price, ranging from 10 to 18 per cent., and, as the field will be almost free, the Bank will be able to select those securities which are ample and undoubted, on which to make its several advances. It will also constitute a favourable feature of the Mekican Bank that, as a strong London Institution, which has already secured to itself promise of the support of influential Mexi can and South American houses, it will command the confi dence of local depositors, who are at the present tine in the hands of private money-dealers, but who, !"..t) soon as such a Banking Institution is established in t'tleir midst, will lose no time in transferring considers esta blishment, as offering a securty, ample and sufficient, which 'te deposits to such the private money-deale The Mexican Bank - will commence its operations in Mexico, 70 there do not afford. and the magnitr e of the field there may be estimated by the subjoined st .dsties Import of silver into Great Britain from Mexico South America (except Brazil), for tee eleven months ending November 30, 1863 Imports of gold ditto ditto 3,493,914 The exports from this country, consisting of Manchester goods and other .-ritish manufactures, are very considerable; and this trade will no doubt be extensively augmented as the empire becomes consolidated and the confidence of merchants in the stability of the Government is secured. The Directors of the Mexican Bank will §lso establish a Branch in Valparaiso, the great commercial sea port of Chill, and where the want of the facilities which such an institu tion could afford is much experienced by English and Ameri can, as well as the native mercantile firms, carrying on the great trade of thaf important territory. Arrangements are in contemplation for the incorporation of an existing successful Banking Institution with the Mexi can Bank. . No promotion money will be given in the establishment of the Mexican Bank, preliminary expenses to be confined to necessary disbursements. The remuneration of the Directors left to the Share holders. Prospectuses and forms of applications for shares may be obtained of the Brokers, Bankers, Solicitors, and at the Tem porary Offices of the Company, but no application for shares will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per share has been previously paid to the Bankers of the Company. The Articles of Association can be seen at the Offices of the Solicitors. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposit will be returned without deduction, and should the number al lotted he less than the number applied fur, the payment in excess will be applied towards the amount due.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. The report of the directors states that the amount of ca pital chargeable to revenue on 31st Dec. last, exclusive of the leased lines, is as follows :—£12,093,591 consolidated stock, £3,006,386 guaranteed and preference, and £4,575,145 loans; together, £19,675,125. The expenditure charged to capital for the half-year amounts to £157,203, of which £88,921 is for new lines. The receipts on revenue account luring the past half-year amount to £971,509, against £903,991 for the corresponding half of 1862, showing an in crease of £67,518. The expenses amounted to £412,811, against £399,410, for the corresponding half of 1862, show ing an increase of only £13,401. The balance of revenue applicable to the payment of dividend on the ordinary stock of the company is £312,826, and out of this amount the directors recommend the proprietors to declare a dividend at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum, less income tax, and to carry forward the balance of £25,603 to the next account. Notwithstanding the continued limitation of manufacturing operations in Lancashire, there has been an increase of the receipts of the railway, amounting to £67,518, over the amount earned in the corresponding period of 1862, a result which, under the circumstances, is considered by the direc tors highly satisfactory. The permanent way is considered by the engineer to be in good condition, and the heads of departments also report the rolling stock under their charge to be in good repair. The estimate of the probable amount which will be required during the current half-year for the extension and enlargement of stations, for rolling stock, and for the purchase of land is £120,000. The Oldham, Roch dale, and Royton Railway has been used for traffic to a limited extent during the past half-year. The construc tion of the new line from Salford to ictoria is progressing satisfactorily, and the directors are making arrangements for the enlargement and improvement of the Victoria Station, which the opening of the new line will render absolutely necessary. The directors have agreed to recommend the proprietors to subscribe £50,000 towards the capital of £200,000 required for docks at Feetwood, The share capi tal proposed to be raised by this company under the five bills now before Parliament amounts to £655,000.

THE CITY GAOLS. The Sheriffs (Messrs. Nissen and Cave) made a report of the state of the City gaols, by which it appeared that there are at present in Newgate 77 prisoners ; in the debtors' pri son, 105; and at the City prison, Holloway, 407 prisoners. THE CONDEMNED PIRATES. Alderman SIDNEY, M.P., said he should like to ask a question which he considered of some importance, It was their duty, as magistrates of the city of London and visiting justices of the gaol of Newgate, to receive a report from the sheriffs of the state and condition of that gaol, and he ob served by the one that had just been presented to the Court, that it contained the very dreadful statement that no less than seven prisoners were at the present time in that prison under sentence of death. The point upon which he wished to be informed war, whether the sheriff. 4, whose painful duty it was to carry out the sentence of the law, had made any communication to the Government with a view to Ascertain whether it was intended that the sentence of death should be carried out in the heart of London, and whether it would not 134:3 considered desirable that the sentence should be exe cuted at some other place. He did so partly in consequence of a remonstrance that had been made to him by a number of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, who were pain fully sensible of the dreadful scenes that took place even upon the occasion of a single execution, and who expressed their opinion that the execution of seven men at one time, in such a place as the Old Bailey, was calculated to pro duce a scene of the most fearful character, and that the feelings of society generally would be outraged by an exe cution of such a description taking place in the city of London. They were also of opinion, and he concurred with them, that the immense multitude of persons that would be collected, a great number of whom would un doubtedly be the very scum of society, might be productive of some serious outrages and excesses ; and he wished to know whether there was any precedent for the execution of pirates, as these men were, in the city of London. He had a l wa ys understood that it was the practice to execute such prisoners at the river shore, or at one of the seaport towns ; and he was desirous of being informed whether the sheriff's had taken any steps to save the citizens of London from such a dreadful exhibition, and whether they had made any communication to the Home Secretary on the subject. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Sheriff NISSEN said he had to state that he and his colleague had that day addressed a communication to Sir G. Grey upon the subject referred to by the worthy alderman, asking whether he did not think it advisable that the sen tence should be carried out upon those prisoners in some London. (Hear, hear.) They attention to some observations that had b in the House of Commons, other heae nd a madelps l o a c e called thanby Sir i the sG. . city ß of London. upon the subject, and asked the Secretary of St ate to com municate with the law officers of the Crown, with a view to ascertain whether the sentence might not legally be carried out at some other place, in order that the metropolis might be spared the dreadful scenes that must inevitably take place if the sentence of death is carried out at the Old Bailey, (Hear, hear.) The subject then dropped, and the Court shortly after wards *owned. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A special Court of Common Counoil was held at the cons elusion of . t L h o e r p d r my oc a eed o i r isngasoof the Court of . Aldermen, at which t he presided, for the purpese of di scuss ing matters connected With th e new City Lunatic Asylum at Stone, neart Dartford, and which is now nearly completed, and other subjects. THE IRISH SOCIETY. Ported that the Corporation of bill in ,Parliament, the object of which was to extend the period of the tenure of MX., was then. re-appointed the Go vernor office The Londonderry eE the E m 3I o D were ie r soft e e promoting Irish s years. (Cries of " Oh, oh.") S ociety from two to five Deputy Charles Reed Deputy governor; r o m f t a h n e governor ; and the other members wore also re-elected, with one or two alterations. ver A n The worthy ALDERMAN, having returned thanks to the Court for the honour it had conferred upon him in re-elect- ItsOcsißeity, and De re-elect ing him to so important an office, stated in answer to a question that had been put by one of the members, that the bill to which their attention had been directed by the Re xnembrancer was solely promoted by the Corporation of Londonderry, who desired to effect some improvements in that city. He thought it right at the same time to state to the Court that the necessary steps had been taken to give the Corporation of London power to oppose the bill, if they considered it necessary to do so. The subject was then referred to the Law and Parli mentary committee. THE OFFICE OF CITY ARCHITECT. Mr. R. N. PHILIPPS then brought up a report upon the subject of the office vacant by the death of Mr. Bunning, the late City architect, which recommended that no ap pointment of City architect should be made, but that in lieu of it a gentleman should be apppointed under the ancient title of clerk of the works and surveyor to the City, at a salary of £1,200 per annum ; and the report also re commended certain alterations in the salaries of the clerks to be appointed under this officer. Mr. Philipps having gone at some length into the subject of the report, which like wise suggested that the Court should take steps to have some memorial in remembrance of the late Mr. Bunning, awl as a testimonial of the able services of that gentle man, concluded by moving that the report should be adopted. Some discussion took place upon the motion; and Mr. Rows expressed his opinion that the title of City architect should be maintained, and that the prcposed salary was not sufficient, and suggested that the amount should be 51,600 instead of £1,200 per annum. Ue moved DANUBE AND BLACK SEA. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the office, Abingdon-street, Westminster; Mr. W. P. Price in the chair. The report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that at the conclusion of the ordinary business they would have to consider the expediency of increasing the capital to £500,000. Although it was originally supposed that £300,000 would have been sufficient for the construc tion of the railway and harbour at Kustendje, it was found that more money would be required to provide accommoda tion for the merchants and traders in the shape of ware houses and machinery for lifting and preparing the grain for shipment.,The sum of £400,000 capital was fixed upon as forming the bases of the prospectus. This had been increased last year by £40,000 for necessary works, and it was estimated by their engineers that about £50,000 more would be required to provide additional rolling stock, and for improving the harbour, extending the quays, and pro viding further warehouse accommodation for the merch ants and traders to meet the requirements of a more ex tensive traffic. If the outlay of the additional sum he had named should be as remunerative as they expected, the board would not pledge themselves to limit the capital of the company to L 500,000. Estimates of traffic had been made which were founded on the rate of past increase, and the natural increase of traffic where superior facilities were afforded. Those estimates of traffic were very en couraging. It was estimated that the traffic in grain for 1863 would amount to 400,000 quarters, which, at is 6cl per quarter, would give them a profit of Bd. per quarter; but the actual amount carried was 325,000 quarters, and there were 50,000 quarters of local grain. It was estimated that 650,000 quarters of grain might be carried in 1865 and 850,000 quarters in following years, and so on up to 1,000,000 quarters per annum, the profits per quarter increasing with the larger quantity carried. For the year 1864 it had been estimated that the profit would be £19,133; for 1865 that 600,000 quarters, at 9d., would produce £22,500, which, with passengers (£7,500) and other traffic, would yield a profit of £32,500, and when the quantity carried amounted to 800,000 quarters the profit would be £41,916, subject to a deduction in each case of £1,500 for expenses in England. So that, according to the estimate for the year 1864, they would have a profit of L 17,500, and in 1865 of £31,000, after deducting expenses in England. In 1864 the preference charges would be about £lO,OOO, leaving £7,600 for pay ment of arrears now due on preference stock ; but if they Placed the losses on revenue account up to May, 1863, to a suspense account, which would be gradually liquidated, and appropriated the profit on working the traffic during the past half-year towards these arrears, there would remain £4,000 for dividend on the ordinary shares. In 1865 the preference charges would amount to £14,000, and, as the arrears would then be cleared off, there would remain £17,000 available for dividend on the ordinary share capital of £325,000. The additional expenditure would enable them to carry and otherwise accommodate the increased traffic that had been estimated. The £lOO,OOO additional capital they proposed to ask the proprietors to enable them to raise included a sum of £35,000 which had already been borrowed. As to the terms upon which the additional capital should be raised the meeting or a committee ap pointed for the purpose would have to decide. _ _ Mr. LEWIS seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. Mr. M'Garal complained that they had been seven years without dividend, and now they were called upon to raise a further sum of £lOO,OOO. In reply to questions by Mr.FoRD, the general manager, Mr. BARCLAY stated that the additional outlay would pro duce in rentals and otherwise a return of from 8 to 12 per cent, The report and statement of accounts were adopted. It was agreed to raise the further sum of £lOO,OOO and to place the loss on working the traffic to a separate account. The retiring directors, Mr. Moon, Mr. Barwell, and Mr. Gordon, were re-elected, and also Mr. R. Potter, the retir ing auditor. The ordinary proceedings were then adjourned for a short time, and the meeting was made special to consider the best mode of raising the necessary funds. On the motion of Mr. FORD, seconded by Mr. CROWLEY, a resolution was passed referring the matter to a committee of shareholders, consisting of Mr. 11PGaral, Mr. Robertson, Mr. Ford, Mr. Crowley, and Mr. Berbeck to confer with the directors as to the best mode of raising the £lOO,OOO, and to report the result to the meeting on Monday next. The special and ordinary meetings were then adjourned accordingly to receive the report of the committee. PRICE ...... ...4d. STAMPED ....sd. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, HERPILD.—The blood which Austria and Prussia have shed so wantonly cries toHeaven for vengeance. The brutal butchery which ) with the approval of the Grown Princ e o f Prussia and his cousin, has been committed by the Anglo-Prussian army since the abandonment of the Dannewerke ' will earn for the two great German P owers the execration of all civi ?;sed communities. Want on enoug h was t h e i nvas i o n of Sri." swig, ig, when th e object which tho Austrian acrd 1 , 01131h :I Governments professed to seek wee secured to them,The withdr awa l o f t h e N ovem ber Constitution mig ht h,ye bee n o b ta i ne d w i t h out t h e sacrifice of a single life. LLB that outrage upon law, that violation of common humstaty, pales before the infamous massacre which the overv7helming forces of the allies have perpetrated in Angelo, in the streets of Flensburg, and are continuing along the roads running northward from that town. When the Danes retired from the Dannewerke the pro feesed object of the Austrian and Prussian Govern ments was accomplished. Schleswig was theirs. The purpose of the Danish army was to escape from the Duchy as fast as it possibly could. It abandoned its material of war; it sought to pass into Jutland or cross over to Funen, and thence to Zealand, If the allied commanders had been animated by the spirit professed by their Governments they would have contented themselves with achieving this result, and would have allowed the Danes to escape. But, with a ferocity which reminds one of the worst days of German armies, they fell upon this retreating force, with which they hardly profess to be at war, and slew as many es they possibly could. Watch the Danes out, force them out of the Duchy, that would have been fair enough. To annihilate them, as the Austro-Prussian commanders have sought to do, was sheer savagery. Fast as the Danes retreated, the Austro-Prussian " braves" were faster. The small and shattered Danish army was attacked again and again by forces far outnumbering it. No losses it sustained satiated the fury of the victors, who seem resolved not to stay their bloody work until they have pat to the sword every Dane. Is this slaughter a satisfaction for the humiliations of 1850 ? Are the Danes butchered to satisfy the Austrians for their discomfiture in Italy, and the Prussians for the contempt with which France has treated them ? The Prussian army was sent to Schleswig fifteen years ago, by the avowal of the Prussian Minister, to restore its character. Is it sent now to inspire it with confidence ? The relentless cruelty with which the present King of Prussia suppressed the outbreak in Baden was in its day the subject of general reprobation. It would seem that the ferocity imputed to him as exceptional is a family trait. His son and two of his nephews share the glory of the bloody work which was done on Saturday and Sunday in the pleasant land of Angeln, in the outskirts of Flensburg, and which is being zealously carried on to Apenraade, For glory it will be deemed in Germany. The greater the slaughter of the Danes the greater the satisfac tion amongst Radicals and Reactionists. The more scalps the army has to show the better it will be re ceived by that pseudo-civilised community, the louder will its heroic deeds be sung by the countless bards. Saxons and Hessians, Swabians and Bava rians, will burst with envy to think that they were not engaged in the glorious encounter. We shall hear much from Germany about the valour of the Germans, but it is a valour which will not be ac cepted out of that country. Three men will always be brave when they have only one to oppose them, and the poor fellow is wearied out and anxious to make h;:21 escape. There is nothing for Germany to take credi t for in the massacre of thirty-five thousand men :oh's, eighty-five thousand. How ever, the last Danish soldier having been mur dered, the Duchy will be at the disposition of the Austrian and Prussian Governments, Will they be satisfied with the slaughter they have made, and now, having invaded Schleswig with the best intentions towards Denmark, restore it to her with a new constitution of their own framing ? If we could place the faintest reliance on their profes sions we should assume that they would do so ; and having chastised King Christian in love, put him anew in possession of the states which they acknow ledge to be his. But we cannot place any reliance upon their professions. They are satisfied that England will not interfere; they feel sure of France, whose consent at the worst they can purchase at the expense of some of the small states which have been annoying them ; and they have already given hints that they mean to consider the treaty at an end. The explanations of Lord Palmerston are anything but assuring. Of what use is it for Earl Russell to protest against the doctrine that the resistance of the Danes annulled the treaty. His protests will be treated with contempt. The officie I organ of the Prussian Ministry roundly declares that Austria and Prussii have not expressed the intention to uphold the integrity of the Danish monaiphy ; and although this statement is probably premature, its appearance in such a journal indicates sufficiently tLat if they have not yet made up their minds to repudiate the treaty, they have a strong inclination to do so. The language employed by the Crown Prince of Prussia —whose part in this monstrous iniquity we will not trust ourselves to characterise—in answering an address at Rensburg, is significant, as showing that his influence will be given to promote the violation of the treaty and the establishment of the pretender upon the throne of Schleswig-Holstein, if it should not be found quite convenient that Prussia should retain possession of the Duchies. Governments which have not scrupled to shed such torrents of blood upon so trifling a pretext will not now be bound by a treaty which they have already violated, and to which they only pretended to adhere so long as there was a chance that England might act the part which her honour and her interests called upon her to take. They are satisfied now that England will put up with any humiliation rather than go to war; and they will consult their own interests only in the disposition of the country which by a crime fouler far than the partition of Poland they have wrested from Denmark. POST.—The amendment of the 3d and 4th Vic toria, cap. 54, proposed by Sir George Grey, consi• derable as it was made to appear, is in reality, look ing at it practically, very small indeed. The alterations which are suggested in the mode of ascertaining the insanity of a prisoner are, that the certificate of lunacy must be signed by two visiting justices of the gaol in which he is confined ; that the two medical men by whom the prisoner is to be exa mined and the certificate made are to be selected by the visiting justices, and they must be physicians or surgeons duly registered under the Medical Re gistration Act; and that the Secretary of State, on receipt of the certificate, may, in cases where he entertains doubt, order a further inquiry. Now, reading the act as we have all along read it, as permissive and not mandatory, in so far as it defines the duty of the Secretary of State, this last and most important provision is, in point of law, scarcely required. It may serve to explain, but it certainly does not, as we submit, change the subsisting enactment. With respect to the selection of the medical men who are to conduct the examination of the prisoner and make the certificate, there are, we apprehend, few if any objections that apply to the magistracy as a body which are not equally ap plicable to visiting justices ; and as the irresponsi bility of magistrates for any official act not legally corrupt has been so remarkably exemplified in the case of the justices who signed the certificate in' favour of Townley, this provision alone appears to present no sufficient safeguard against the undue influence a sharp attorney could bring to bear upon the visiting justices of a borough gaol. There are members in the present House of Commons who could, if they pleased, give Sir George Grey in stances from the boroughs they repress nt of at torneys who are as able to bias visiting justices as they are to control the corporations to which they act as clerks. So, also, the provision which requires that the subscribing medical men shall be registered physicians or surgeons, though right enough as far as it goes, is obviously dependent on the honesty or discretion of the selected justices. It offers some security, and it will be said, as good security as is g i ve n in the signature of ordina r y cert ifi ca tes of lunacy; but S ir Geor ge Grey himself is evidently not satisfied with it, and he therefore reserves to the Secretary of State the power to make further inquiry; and, in fact, on that reservation the proposed amendment of the act will have to be tested. Practically, there will be no difficulty in a certificate of lunacy f r obtaining GM visiting jus tices and registered medical men. Human ure and psychological theories will operate generally as they operated at Derby. If these amendments had been in force, would they have prevented the attempt to defeat the ends of justice, which unfor tunately succeeded, end has suggested them ? The visiting justices must have ordered an inquiry into the state of Townley's mind. It would have been their duty to do so. But they might have selected other medical m en t h an those by whom the inquiry was actually connucted ? Sir G. Grey has been very particular in explaining that he believes the certi ficates he has received were made bona fide, after due inquiry,and on positive conviction. We will assume, however, that this would have been a case in which doubtsmight have suggested themselves to the How( Secretary, and that, iu tho exerciee of the discretion '.t : f ''e s a ° • 1 'OM #4. I . which it is supposed the law as it stance ; does not give, but which, as proposed to be rt.'netteled, /V.; have been conferred, he determined up on , instituting - IVeir further inquiry. What would have been the stepe - :' first taken ? Townley must have been respitedNL S putting the case argumentatively, we aro entitled to take it that the certificate could not have been sent earlier; and, indeed, a law of this kind must contemplate an inquiry at the eleventh hour, and of necessity, where the Home Secretary entertains a doubt, the respite of the convict during further inquiry. In fact, there would have been very little if any difference in the proceedings. Of course, under the amended law, Townley would not have been sent to Pentonvilie. It cannot be intended that in cases where the Home Secretary is com pelled to respite a convict to admit of further in quiry Tiring made, a commutation of the punish rnent is to follow as of course, though he be prove: 6. to be perfectly sane. But take another case, ant.: one that can easily occur under the law as it ie proposed to be emended. Say that the inquire. ordered and conducted by the visiting justices ewer registered medical men results in a certificate o;:' the prisoner's sanity. Does anybody think t h a t when a prisoner has money to employ an acute attorney it will not be possible to instil doubt into the mind of the Home Secretary end obtain a further iequiry ? While, on the other hand, if the prisoner be poor and friendless, what will there he in the certificate to raise a doubt which might possibly be the means of eetablishing his insanity ? In practice, it seems but too pro bable that the rich criminal would, under the amended law, maintain, at least, the advantage he now has over the poor criminal, unless the Home Secretary were to order a further inquiry in every case, and, if that is to be understood, these amend ments might be very much simplified. The Heroic Veteran—Count Flahault. ONE OF THE LAST THE CHIVALROITS - LOWERS OF THE GREAT NAPOLEON ! For the following singularly interesting account of the career of the Count Flahault we are indebted to the pen of the Paris correspondent of cur leading contemporary : The appointment of Count Flahault to the post of Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour has given general satisfaction. It is remembered that he was a soldier two years before the order of which he is now the head was founded by the First Con sul; and which, though often bestowed prodigally, the genius of the founder seems to have preserved in all vicissitudes from degradation or decay. Count Flahault is the most illustrious survivor of that wonderful period which comprises the Consulate end the Empire,under which he held a prominent place. He witnessed net merely as a spectator, but as an actor, the tremendous struggles which shook Europe to its foundations ; and was not the least in those days when there were giants in the land. There ere persons who figure as heroes in works of fiction with less of the romantic in their career than the Chan cellor of the Legion of Honour. He was born in Paris in 1785, when the first moaning of the tempest which was to sweep everything before it was heard. His father was an officer of rank in the French army and died ca the scaffold during the Reign of Terror, on the charge of incivism and of being an aristocrat. The friends of the family succeeded in conveying the orphan child to England, where he was put to school. The story goes that he suffered no small torment from his comrades merely on account of his nationality; so that whereas the Parisian Terrorists put the father to death for not being sufficiently national, the son was persecuted at school for being too much so. When order was restored by the strong hand of Bonaparte, M. Flahault returned to France, but not to lead a life of inactivity. It was a stirring period. The renown of Marceau, General at 24, dying the death of a hero at 27, and over whose grave the enemy as well as his own army paid military honours; of Hocbe, to whose other well-earned titles was added that of Pacifi cator of La Vendee," and who died, full of glory, at 29; and of others destined to a still loftier flight, not to speak of the greatest of all, attracted to the ranks of the army the youth of France. Bonaparte was then preparing for his Italian campaign nod for the victory of Marengo, which secured the sub. mission of Italy, broke in pieces the second coa lition, and Pnded in the peace of Luneville. Young Flahault enrolled himself in the corps volunteers attached to the army under the First Consul. At such a time, in such au army, and under such a leader, gallantry in the field. was sure not to pass unnoticed or unrewarded ; and as the merits of the young soldier of tortuhe were of a high order, he met with rapid promotion. He was successively appointed to the staff of 11 urat, Berthier, and Napoleon himself, and served with great distinction in the campaigns of Portugal, Germany, and Russia. He was named General of Brigade, General of Division, and Count cf the Empire in 1813. During the desperate struggle maintained against such fearful odds by Napoleon on the French territory in 1814, Count Flahault was selected to conduct the negotiations for an armistice at Lusigny with the alike, but the nego tiations were broken off the day Troyeswas retaken ; the propositions of the negotiator being considered inadmissible by the Powers. A merit beyond that of the mere soldier attaches to Count Flahault's name. He was not one of those to whom could be applied the sarcasm which the ingratitude of those who worshipped him while he was all-powerful, and who abandoned him in his adversity, wrurg from the Emperor. Count Flahault's deveJela to his chief was the same to the last ; it was pushed even to rashness. Having nobly borne his part in the final struggle of Water loo, he did not yet despair; and after the abdiee tion of Napoleon he headed, with Lucien and Lab doyere, the Imperial party in the Chamber of Peers, of which he was a member, and made the most des perate efforts to sustain the dynasty in the person of Napoleon's son. What a moment that was when. Ney rushed in while Davoust was reading his report of the military resources that yet remained. to France in a most favourable point of view, and. announced that it was all illusion; that it was ab surd to suppose that 60,000 men could then be rallied ; that Marshal Grouchy could hardly ter 10,000 or 15,000 ; that the Prussians were not beaten, and that the allies would be at the gates of the capital in six or seven daysl In the midst of the vehement agitation whi e T 2 . followed these tidings Flahault did not despair ; and he, Lucien, Joseph, and Labedoyere pre claimed Napoleon 11. Their efforts were vain ; the Government of France was to be decided otherwi s e than by debates in either the Peers or the Depu ties. When all was over, among these who were forced to emigrate was Count Flahault. Owing, I believe, to the influence of Prince Talleye rand, his name wes struck u of exiles soon after the second restoratofi o the no ist of t i he. Bourbons, and he was enabled to return to France.. The Revolution of July restored him to his seat in the Chamber of Peers and to his rank in the army. subsequently te Duke H h household s e w h a o s l dof h oafttoacrlheeadns,thoadt the eevemraillidtailpT lomatic missions entrusted to him, and held the post of Ambassador to Vienna from 1842 to the Revolution of 1848. As General of Division he was placed on the reserve of the army in 1849. On the sth May, 1838, he had been named Knight Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, of which ho now is Grand Chancellor. _ _ Few have passed through more vicissitudes of good and adverse fortune than Count Flahault: As one of the oldest and most faithful followers of the first Napoleon it wan natural that he should be highly considered by the third of the name, whom he represented as Ambassador in London, after having represented Louis Philippe at Vienna. Count Flahault is so well known in England that it is superfluous to say his nobleness of character, distinction of manner, and kindness of disposition have grined him es much goodwill there as i❑ . las n a tive country, and that his friends on both snlivs of the Channel have learnt with equal satisfac;i:n the honour so appropriately conferlecl by .he nephew on ono of the most gallant geutleui" of uncle's court and camp. e1 n """ ..
